    Allow users to create a new Taskernet account instead of using Google login

    najodleglejszy · 0 · Posted

    Some people (including myself) would probably prefer creating a separate Taskernet account instead of tying it to their Google account (or any other service, for that matter). It would be great to see such option in the future.

    File events only work with relative paths, not absolute

    Richard Kemp · 0 · Posted

    File events work with relative paths, e.g. to watch the Tasker dir you enter "Tasker". However if you use absolute paths, like "/sdcard/Tasker" it doesn't work.

    I have a bunch of global variables for various directories, all using absolute paths, e.g. "/sdcard/Tasker", so for convenience it would be great to have these events modified to work with absolute paths. As far as I know all other places in Tasker which take paths will accept both absolute and relative paths.

    Extend Restore Settings Profile Option

    Robert L Ryan · 0 · Posted

    Would it be possible to extend Restore Settings to cover the Custom Setting and Location Mode actions?

    Currently, if these settings need to be reverted, a global variable and an exit task need to be used.

    It would be more consistent, since these are settings actions, for them to obey Restore Settings.

    In addition, any other setting action that does not obey Restore Settings probably should.

    Current, only "Task Shortcut" widgets follow the launcher font size and style, but not "Task" widgets.

    Could you please implement it?

    Element Position Continue Task Immediately

    Somesh · 3 · Last reply by StaffanT

    How about adding an Continue Task Immediately option for Element Position so that multiple objects can be moved around at the same time.

    Also if there's a way to do that already without any extra plugins, please let me know.

    Javascriptlet Code text is considered a "password" field for AutoFill services in Android 8+.

    Prasant · 2 · Last reply by Prasant

    Whenever I change my Javascriptlet, I get a message asking me if I want to save my password to my autofill service. This can get very annoying when making a lot of Javascript changes. Could this field be marked as not a password field so that the AutoFill service doesn't look for it?

    send emails without request

    luca malatesta · 13 · Last reply by João Dias

    I think it is really useful to insert a function to send emails without request (being able to configure the various smtp parameters), now I can do it with an external plugin but it would be better to have it integrated.

    Log error toasts

    Abi · 1 · Last reply by Richard Kemp

    A menu entry right below "Run Log" called "Error Log" or similar would be nice. That way we won't have to enable full logging to see the logs of our errors (plus if we miss an error toast we can see it in the log).

    Link to a web service to find icons for tasks/profiles/scenes etc

    Richard Kemp · 0 · Posted

    Tasker has a relatively limited set of icons available by default, the icon packs available in the play store are a bit dated, and it is difficult to use icons from incompatible icon packs.

    It would be nice to link up to a free icon web service like https://thenounproject.com to allow users to choose from a massive set of possible icons without having to bundle them in with the app.

    Credit to a user on Reddit for this idea:

    https://www.reddit.com/r/tasker/comments/9ih0o8/import_icon_from_noun_project_while_selecting/

    Alternatively, making Tasker compatible with "standard" android icon packs for launchers would be a good option too, though launcher icons tend to

    Root use only, but apply a firewall for intents. This can implicitly block, allow and log all intents sent and received on Android and apps.

    Hello, I've spotted a missing functionallity.

     I cannot choose a contact group in event send SMS. When clicking on magnifying lens -> I can choose only single contacts.

    This is how I would have to use the contact group (I have entered CG:Friends manually, because there is no way to choose a group of contacts):

    Ability to select a range of lines quickly.

    Fábio B. Quetz · 0 · Posted

    I would like to suggest adding a feature that would greatly facilitate the selection of several lines: when selecting a line and selecting another line, then make the selection of any interval between them. When you have a task with many lines, it is difficult to make the selection one by one.  Thankful

    Allow detection of Tasker as a foreground app as an "expert" option

    Richard Kemp · 0 · Posted

    Currently Tasker windows do not affect %WIN, and Tasker can not be chosen as an app context. This is a deliberate restriction to prevent endless loops and other issues.

    I propose providing an option to remove this restriction, akin to "expert" mode in preferences.

    Native Method to get Foreground App

    Robert L Ryan · 9 · Last reply by Paul Hedderly

    There is currently no built-in action to get the foreground app name and package. The %WIN variable is inaccurate and often empty, making it unsuitable.

    I know this can be done with AutoInput, but a native action for this would be very useful, especially in kid apps.

    Add Keyboard "Is shown" and "Close" Actions

    Robert L Ryan · 8 · Last reply by AHMET BUYUKHANLI

    We currently have an action to show the soft keyboard. However, there is currently no way to detect if the keyboard is already showing. Some way to detect this state has been requested several times on various Tasker forums.

    I request an action to close the keyboard, if currently shown, and an action that returns the current state of the keyboard.

    JavaScriptlet does not load libraries when previewing

    Richard Kemp · 0 · Posted

    JSlets have a play button in the top right which runs the JS code on it's own, without running other actions in the task. When this button is used, any libraries specified are not loaded, so calls to library functions fail.
